Summary of Accomplishments as Chancellor at IU East : Articulated a New Vision the vision of becoming the premier public four-year and graduate institution of higher education in the region. The new mission transformation began in earnest with the creation and implementation of new baccalaureate and graduate programs and the termination of all associate degree programs. Admission to IU East is now highly selective. Initiated Campus Strategic Plan, Focusing on Excellence, Productivity and Generation of New Revenue Streams. To ensure its long-term viability and stability in its new mission, IU East created a living and dynamic strategic plan that includes a vision for

4 Page 4 enrollment growth and shaping, academic excellence, reputation-building and resource enhancement. The plan focuses on excellence in: teaching and learning; faculty research, scholarship and creative activity; and civic engagement and community involvement. Restructured University Organization. As a first step in realizing the strategic vision for IU East, both administrative and academic organization charts were re-structured. The new university structure ensures effective implementation of the new strategic plan. The savings from reducing the size of upper administration has been used to strengthen the academic mission of the university. Implemented a New Business Model. Anticipating the current state budget condition and realizing the importance of increasing efficiency and productivity of all units of the university, a new business model was implemented in The new business model, based on Responsibility Center Management (RCM+), has empowered the schools to generate new revenues and incentivized cost control strategies. As a direct result, the university has accumulated significant reserves since the implementation of RCM. Led an Image Makeover. To attract top high school students to IU East as a college of choice and enhance fundraising efforts, the image of the campus had to improve. The university has made this a priority and has substantially increased communications and marketing activities through a broad-based, integrated approach. IU East has also increased its co-curricular and extracurricular activities, intercollegiate athletics budget, and gone through an inclusive process to change its mascot to Red Wolves in this period. Reengineered Recruitment Processes and Enrollment Shaping. The university has created a number of new on-campus events for high school students, special programs for guidance counselors, and a generous array of merit-based scholarships in the last three years. Student enrollment at IU East has increased by 68% in the last four years and continues to climb. Percent of non-resident students has increased from 12.6% of campus to almost 20%. The composition of the student body has also changed, with a higher quality student population academically and better prepared transfer students. Envisioned and Implemented Online Programming. To expand its reach in the state and attract out-of-state students, IU East now delivers online degree completion programs in business, communication studies, technical and professional writing, nursing, psychology, political science, and mathematics, with additional programs to be added soon. All of the online programs have been created in the last three years. In this period, they have been reviewed and approved by the Higher Learning Commission, and enjoy healthy enrollments. IU East is now the leader within Indiana University in the online delivery of undergraduate programming, with students applying from around the nation and the world. Focused Attention on Retention and Graduation. The change of campus mission implies higher standards, including increased student retention and reduced time to

5 Page 5 graduation. To support this expectation, IU East now has a fully staffed retention office, a mandatory first-year seminar, and a University College for counseling and coaching first-year students. A new institutional research office provides data collection and analysis to support this initiative, as well as other institutional needs. Enhanced Fundraising; Received Largest Gift in Campus History. In October 2009, Middlefork Hall was renamed Tom Raper Hall in recognition of the former Richmond businessman s commitment of the largest gift ever made to the campus. Enhanced University Facilities. Recognizing the importance of restoration and rehabilitation of university facilitates, since 2007, the budget in this area has been quadrupled and restorations have been conducted under direct supervision of the Chancellor. Strengthened University Diversity Plan. Diversifying the campus in as many ways as possible is a critical aspect of the IU East vision. A new Commission on Diversity and Equity took as its first task the creation of a campus diversity plan. Accomplishments to date include a diversity component in all annual faculty and staff evaluations and a strong diversity focus in the mandatory first-year seminar. Promoted Academic Excellence and Nurtured Growth in Faculty Research. Attracting and retaining full-time talented faculty who are at the top of their profession requires a support structure for their research and scholarship. Teaching loads for tenure-track faculty have been reduced, and an infrastructure for support of grant writing has been put in place in the last three years. Innovated through Social Media. IU East is considered an early adopter in regard to social media, and the campus has received multiple awards for the iue.edu homepage and its effective and innovative use of the social web. The campus uses an extensive platform of social media to communicate with and engage both prospective and current students as well as alumni and friends. Chancellor Paydar was the first university president/chancellor in the country to use Twitter. Increased Faculty and Staff Morale and University Pride. By significantly increasing communication on campus with all constituents and engaging in series of strategies in this area, the university is enjoying an all-time high level of support from its faculty and staff. Ninety-five percent giving by faculty and staff in the last annual Campus Campaign is an example of their support of the administration and the recent advances made by the university.
